New Developments in Lattice QCD: Calculation of Flavor Singlet Nucleon Matrix Elements and Hadron Scattering Lengths


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Recent developments in lattice QCD calculation of flavor singlet nucleon matrix elements are reviewed. Substantial sea quark contributions are found in the $pi$-$N sigma$ term and the quark spin content of the nucleon such that the total magnitude including valence contributions is in reasonable agreement with experiments. Some problems with flavor non-singlet nucleon matrix elements are pointed out. Recent work on lattice QCD calculation of hadron scattering length is also discussed.
